75 Best used car vote, get voting - Page 3

tourerfogey · 18th July 2007, 12:24

Mmmm, I bought mine new so can't really vote for it being the best 'secondhand' buy.

Anyway, you could only really vote for the 75 if you've tried everything else in its class as well otherwise how would you know it was best?

The survey is therefore at best flawed, and at worst, useless.

My vote's been cast. Interesting to see it the 75 stays ahead

Isn't that always the way with surveys? Lies, damn lies & statistics.

Look upon it as a vote for the regard that people have for the car they own, or aspire to own.

Well mine in 18 months has easily cost me 4-5 times any other car has cost to maintain, do all my own repairs except for the damn clutch saga.

And you know what, if I smashed it up tommorow I would still get another one without a moments hesitation.

God I hate cars that get under my skin

Some years back the Ford Escort of the time was the worst 'British' car in the JDPower survey as far as reliability and customer satisfaction went - yet it was also the UK's top seller for 3 years in a row......

Yep, another example of lots of people doing the wrong thing doesn't make it the right thing.

Which leads us back to our cars... few people (that's us) doing the right thing (driving the best car, in my humble, unbiased and objective opinion). Here ends today's lesson.

I wish I could vote too, but of course don't have a UK address or email. However, (touch wood) neither of our 75's have caused a moments trouble, so I guess they must both have been midweek cars!:lol:

Tried voting twice, but each time I never received the confirmation e-mail

Don't suppose my efforts have counted
